Ken G's Journal

Still working on getting this car to run. Before I pulled the engine it was running pretty decently, but now I'm having some issues getting it going.
It turns over like a champ but I don't get any ignition or coughing.
Move it to 10 degrees before TDC, verified it was the compression stroke by the pressure coming out of #1 plug and visually inspected it was up. Rotor is at 1 O' Clock
Set static timing by use of a light per John twist
Cleaned up the plugs
Spark plug order 1,3,4,2
Fuel pump runs and I see fuel going into the clear filter and hear it in the carbs. (Weber downdraft)
I turn the car over and nothing.
I used my inline spark and see a spark for each wire.

I have tried to rotating the distributor both clockwise and counter clock wise and no change.

I feel like I'm missing something very obvious but I can't sort out what it is. Pictures below showing the set up.
